Puppet Show’s Fireee! - Absolute must see. Traditional live orchestra, intricate puppet display with an easy to understand plot (though in Vietnamese), and very comfortable seating. This show made our trip for us. Fire!

Must do! - The puppets were so funny, it was super entertaining to watch and the stories were easy to follow. The music was phenomenal and so was the puppet voices.

Amazing show by amazing people - Genuinely, this may be one of the best things I've seen abroad. it's such an immersive and fun watch, superb energy from the cast and producers and honestly it looks amazing. No other way to describe it. I'm 20 and I felt my inner child come out. The show is insanely colourful, engaging and kind of touches you in an intimate way. I actually felt like tearing up a bit. Entire time I'm wondering how on earth they are controlling the puppets so intricately. Front row seats get splashed a bit so it's genuinely a 10/10 experience.

Water puppet show - A cute way to spend a couple of hours. The show was fully in Vietnamese but it was still enjoyable to watch. It was a small theatre so the views were really good.
